His four dark devas of destruction should be on this list too to be honest

He is best boi

I didn't like him, he never contributed to anything - fangirl69

3Nagito Komaeda

Ah, Nagito-kun. His mixture of polarising qualities as well as seemingly contradictory personality traits has resulted in an intricate, complex character with a multitude of different facets. He definitely deserves number one on the list!

Nagito had the most impact on the game (other than Junko and Izuru). You either love him or hate him. He has a twisted view of hope, but I couldn't help but root for him. You never know what he could be up to, and he manages to be multiple steps ahead of everyone else. When I first saw Nagito, I thought he was a Naegi ripoff. But when he revealed his true colors, I started to like him as a character. I knew he was insane, but I couldn't help but root for him. Call me a Nagito fanboy, but he will always be #1 to me. Not even Kokichi or Kyoko can beat him.

He gives me some Light Yagami vibes if you know what I mean. (as in Light Yagami from Death note) He takes hope, something that's supposed to be good, and makes it into something totally different. (just as Light interprets "justice" a different way then others) In Danganronpa 1, hope is depicted as something totally "good". Yet, in Danganronpa 2, Nagito makes us doubt that. He is, perhaps, one of the deepest characters there. Unpredictable, persistent, and perhaps a bit insane, Nagito is, definitely one of the most interesting characters in Danganronpa.

Kirigiri is my favourite character! I've only started watching the series and I love her attitude and how she's so calm and serious. She is an elite and always takes in different points of views when investigating. I also really want to cosplay her, and I hope she doesn't die sooner in the series!

MURDER IS NOT WELCOME IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT!Just watched the "Dangan Ronpa Abridged Thing" I can't help it... - Fandom_Lover

Baby boy. Baby.

A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT IS NOT WELCOME IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT!

6Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu

Just a misunderstood cutie

He's adorable, he means well. He deserves all the love - fangirl69

Baby gangsta

7Ibuki Mioda

I love her personality, design, music, everything. - cam1922

She hella recked the official best character polls, didn't you know!?I-bu-ki Mi-o-the!

8Rantaro Amami

His look is everything, and he was so interesting. I wish he lived longer - fangirl69

Best avacado boi

His death was so unfair! he shouldve lived longer or at least shouldve been one of the people who won the game. I adore him A LOT, and I got really mad when he died, one of the most stunning dr characters!

9Junko Enoshima

Junko is such a badass, and is actually the most relatable character! She's basically the girl with no friends who wants to make other people know how she feels. How does she do that? By torturing them and making their lives a living hell, of course! Seriously though, being at the "friendship is everything" state that the other characters of Danganronpa are in is both sickening, and mentally and physically impossible for anyone to do

One of the most badass and awesome villains of all time, anyone who hates her has no good taste (that goes for you, Sassy13crown)

SHE IS JUST SO AWESOME! I also love moonbeam too... so

I fell in love with her at the moment she appeared. Everything she does makes me love her with all my despair filled heart ♡

She was the one who opened everyone's eyes to the truth. She also was a character that broke so many girl stereotypes despite her extremely feminine name. Sakura did not think of anyone as the enemy even though she was supposed to be a spy. Sakura had enough self honor, and kindness to kill herself instead of murdering other characters like the game seemed to require.

SAKURA IS THE GREATEST CHARACTER IN ALL OF DR! She sacrificed herself for everyone else and deserves more love.

Literally a boy toy - fangirl69

The Contenders

11Togami Byakuya

The ultimate badass. Some of the funniest quotes, and one of the smartest characters.

Just like Nagito and Ouma he made the game hella interesting. - fangirl69

Pure snarky badass

Number 15, togami is the best danganronpa character and no one can tell me otherwise.Y’all might think that aoma is the best boy but you are butt wrong. Togami Byakuya is the best character. I don’t even know why, he just is

He is in my opinion the best trap- even after death he did so much to help the others escape and find out the mysteries of the killing game- also it's really sad that he got murdered cause come on! He's such a great character and could have helped out and given so much more!

Chihiro is in my opinion one of the best characters Dangan Ronpa. He is a kind person who also is the main part of one of the biggest plot twists in the game. Also, he I very brave and also very adorable!

Fujisaki had to be one of the cute characters. Even if she was a boy, it doesn't matter. He was pure cuteness!

Chihiro is best boy. His character is just so likable. He is honestly just so amazing! That’s why he’s my favorite character.

He's my favorite character. He has unwavering determination and optimism, a trait that I like about him. He is very kind to several people as well. I also think he's cute. In episode 11 of the anime, just look at his eyes when he realizes that Kyoko has saved him from the person who could have killed him! THOSE EYES! - listotaku17

He's a cool guy who cares for those around him. I hate how unnecessarily cruel everyone was to him. He deserves a lot for what he did.

Mikan was only trying to be nice in any she could and was rewarded terribly (I cite you Hiyoko grand dutchess of cruelty) and possibly had character change for the better, especially after coming to reduce the world in the stand alone anime after being cured of Junko’s influence.

36Gonta Gokuhara

I quite liked him. He just seemed like a guy who needed some comfort. Heck, he's awesome!

He never deserved to die

BEST BOI, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

37Peko Pekoyama

She is quite nice!

Why peko is the Best girl & Danganronpa Waifu:Alright Peko Haters! Today I will show you why Peko could be the best waifu in Danganronpa 2. If You like Chiaki, I do too. So, I'm NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO LIKE HER ALRIGHT!?!. Anyways, back on with why Peko is the Best waifu.Alright, so Peko would be a great waifu because she could be your bodyguard & waifu. She could all sorts of stuff. She could kill for you, do chores, and etc. Even if Peko was pretty serious and didn't know how to smile, someone could always teach her like Mahiru & Hajime. She has a like for animals. SO ALL YA ANIMAL LOVES MIGHT LIKE HER TOO! You can always tell her that shes not a tool like Fuyuhiko. at least he was supportive of her and she was supportive of him. She's also someone you can keep by your side and always trust. With her caring and kind personality, Peko has the traits of a REALLY AMAZING waifu!

38Kaede Akamatsu

Easily one of my favourite characters if not my favourite.

Why's she down here again? - AzkaNesia

Such a sweet girl! She’s easily one of the best characters in Danganronpa! Even in the first chapter when nobody knew each other that well, she still gave it her all in order to protect her friends by killing the mastermind. In the class trial, she stood her ground until she finally gave up and admitted that she killed Rantaro. She’s sorta like Chiaki, she pushed Shuichi to give the clues that she was the killer. She also left a will like Chiaki, she also loved her friends like Chiaki. Easily the best characters the the charcterters who love their friends so much that they’d sacrifice their lives in order to save them.
